Three Works of Art on Passover

My grandparents had always dreamed of living in Israel and then the Holocaust took that away from them. Moving to Israel was about fulfilling their dreams and making my own as an artist.

Every day I am inspired by the rich beauty that grows in this sunny, dry desert climate. The riotous colours of the cypress trees, Jerusalem stone, Bougainvillea, and the terracotta roofs. I try to capture all of that in my artwork. I hide lovebirds on domed roofs, hang laundry in the windows, pomegranates on balconies, and often have music notes hovering over my cities.

The following digital, papercut-inspired works fuse my aesthetic interests to commemorate the journey of our ancestors during Passover.

Splitting of the Sea
Stained Glass
God's Outstretched Arms

Chavi Feldman

Chavi Feldman is a Judaica artist residing in Israel, originally from Toronto. Her artistic journey began in her youth, drawing and sketching from an early age. At 16, she designed her first papercut, followed by her first Ketubah a year later. The intricate art of papercutting resonated with Chavi, inspiring her to experiment with unique designs and hand-dying techniques, bringing a modern sensibility to this traditional art form. Although her focus has shifted to digital art, Chavi's design process remains deeply rooted in the papercut aesthetic. Her work blends the precision of digital tools with the layered depth and visual texture reminiscent of hand-cut paper.
